If your landing gear only retracts and doesn't extend, the first thing I always recommend is to check and ensure the battery powering the unit is fully charged. This is a simple thing to suggest, but a lot of people overlook it so it is something worth mentioning.
Also be sure to check the ground wiring to ensure it is good, as that can also affect the ability of the landing gear to extend. However, if all your wiring is good, the battery is charged, and you replaced the switch, the only other issue that may be occurring is there is an internal problem with the actual legs, and depending on the jack you have, there may be a repair kit.
For example, there is the Follow Jack Repair Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear # LG-146060 or Lead Jack Repair Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear # LG-146059.
Otherwise, you will need to replace the legs, and I have added links below to our selection of repair kits, as well as replacement lead and follow legs for you.
